Mark Tobin

Mark Tobin of Mattebella Vineyards is no newcomer to the local wine scene. His business may be in Miami Beach, but his heart is here on the East End, with his Southold vineyard - after his family, that is. Mattebella is named after his two children, Matthew and Isabella, whose faces adorn the labels of his just-launched wines, which have already garnered medals and high praise. (See Awards & Accolades and Tasting Notes for more on Mattebella Vineyards' wines.) Mark and his wife and partner, Christine Ferrari Tobin, have taken their passion for fine wine a long way from the old grape-stomping days in their Hamptons garage.
